Wet snow packs better than dry snow because it contains a higher amount of water. The presence of water particles helps the snowflakes to stick together and form a denser structure, making it easier for the snow to be compacted into a solid mass. Additionally, wet snow is heavier, which contributes to its better packing ability.

Are thinner tires better on snow and ice than wide ones?

No wide tyres or better because the give more grip Actually wider tires don't give you more grip in snow. They simply allow more snow to pile up in front of the tire. On Ice or snow pack a wider tire will provide better grip but in deep snow the thinner tire works better. Chicago winters taught me that.
